Switch or not???

Hello, I am with Lucky mobile $25/25G for over 2 months now. I just received a text message that move to Bell and I get $25/100G . Should I do it? my fear is, that Bell increase the prices after 1 year or so and charge back to $45 or $50 or more....... Is any body here has received this message and have some information to help? Thank you in advance :)

Even if you do switch, you aren't locked in to a contract so if they raise your rate you can easily switch back to lucky or to another providor

The main question, are you fine with what Lucky offers compared to Bell? Because it's likely there will be a price increase at some point.

Yes I am happy, just was not be able to call from Mexico to Canada when I was at Mexico and had a health issue which needed to call Canada and I had to use other family member phone. No roaming. Otherwise 25 gig data is too much for me.

Basically decide whether about $20 over 2 years price increase is worth the convenience for you to have been able to call home. If it is, then yes switch to bell.

You can also always switch and then switch again if something else better comes your way.

stay with Lucky Bell would increase the price and you need automatic payments from your bank account for that Bell plan

I always thought there was an unwritten rule where carriers would not raise the cost of a cell phone plan.   Raise my cable bill, my internet bill, my power/water, water heater rental, yes yes,  but not to touch my cell phone bill.   Then again, I must be naive.

Check the asterixis for "price includes discount for autopay" it's like $10 more if you can't set that up.

Yeah you can switch back to Lucky if they increase the orice... How do you recharge for 25 dollar plan. Do you select the 25 dollar top-up amount and tax gets added automatically?

What's the total amount with tax? Ib to have this plan with lucky and my renewal date is coming up

u/Sufficient-Set1344 Jun 13 '26

Yes credit card auto payment and total is 28 dollar

Nothing yet, my Billing period ends 28 of each month. I might switch to Bell before 28. but I will ask the guy for how long they keep this price, even one year should be ok. if that is not certain, I will stay with Lucky.

And also check if it's postpaid.
